Media Volume/handset call issues

[sjones765]

So all of a sudden yesterday I couldn't hear when I placed a call unless I used the speaker phone.

I restarted the phone and that went away (so I thought). Today I try to play from Google music. The only way I got this to work was by the aux jack.
The thing that has me stumped is that I can hear all of my notifications and ringtones. Just no music, video, or normal phone calls. BUT I can hear any of those if I plug in a jack. It started to lead me to believe this is a hardware issue but with the use of a jack allowing it to work has me scratching my head.

I was on AOKP toro 17 and was using the dsp manager. I flashed my stock and still same problem. Im about to go back to stock and lock the phone so I can take it back to verizon. Before I do so, was wondering if anyone either had a fix, or can verify this is a hardware issue.

Thanks

Update: So I flashed it back to stock, and it worked for a second. Then back to no sound. The good news is that the one click works very well with reverting it back to stock and relocking the bootloader. If there is any good news with it.

There is definitely something going on with some folks' external speakers, have a glance through the subforums.

I haven't experienced the problem at all with mine, but there are plenty of people discussing it.

Start here, here, and here.

Thanks for that. I've read about the clicking earlier. Mine did that a little (bad hearing though). So it didnt bother me. I wonder if it continues it causes some issue. I thought it was software but when I flashed it back to stock and it still is broken... Just dont see any choice but to return it.. hmmff oh well.

Even better Just trying it on youtube and its working.. then it stops.. grr

Be careful returning. I went to return mine when I was having signal issue and I was told that I would not recieve a brand new phone, but a factory refurbished model that would have to be ordered. I was still in the holiday return window. I argued with the CSR that this was a manufacturer defect for fifteen minutes before another CSR reminded him that I was still in the return window.

Yeah they tried that crap with me. Refurbished phone. As i not so politely explained this phone doesnt have a mark on it. Nor did i pay 300 for a used phone. On top of everything else they then try and tell me that i have to pay 15 bucks to get it over night. I eplain that you can still do free overnight and free two day. I just bought a battery with free two day. She even tells me that its only for accessories and phones. So i ask what the nexus is. Finally i get loud enough that the manager comes over and gives me what i want. Which is a new phone.. new by noon tomorrow. We will see. Now my quesrion is why do i have to go through this to be treated fairly?

Verizon is heading down the path of Best Buy and Wal-Mart...they are not omnipotent entities. Their employees are not infallible and neither are they. They look at the contract, once you sign you are locked in and they don't want to hear from you until they have to kiss your @$$ to sign a new one.
